IllustrationEIA’s October 1 Petroleum Marketing Monthly put the domestic crude oil first-purchase price at $79.79 per barrel in July. The series measures first purchases from producers; it is not a spot-market benchmark.
In the same month, foreign crude landed cost was $77.87 per barrel and imported crude FOB cost was $73.36. These are distinct price stages; EIA separately reports refiner acquisition costs for domestic and imported crude.
